Affordable Siding Charlotte: Where the Savings Are

Checking for moisture before deciding what to replace

Affordable siding isn't the cheapest quote; it's the one that doesn't have to be redone in five years. A few choices keep the price down without cutting the parts that keep water out:

  • Repair what you can. If only one wall is damaged, a repair costs a fraction of a full replacement.
  • Choose vinyl. At about $3.75 to $5 per square foot installed, it's usually the lowest-cost material.
  • Keep the profile simple. Standard lap costs less than shakes or board-and-batten.
  • Bundle trim work. Doing trim, soffit and fascia at the same time avoids a second setup.

Material

Vinyl costs least; fiber cement and metal cost more.

Hidden Repairs

Rotted sheathing found during tear-off adds to the bill.

Budget Questions

Is vinyl the cheapest option?

Usually, at about $3.75 to $5 per square foot installed.

Can I replace just one side of the house?

Yes, though matching older, faded siding can be tricky.

Why do quotes vary so much?

Differences in material, tear-off, wall repairs and trim usually explain it.

Is there a cost to call?

No. Calling and getting a price commits you to nothing.
